New Poll Finds Republicans in ‘State of Collapse’

A new survey from Democracy Corps finds Republicans in deep trouble at almost all levels, and new voter enthusiasm among Democrats — especially among unmarried women, oddly enough.

A new Democracy Corps (D) survey finds the Republican brand “is in a state of collapse — over 50 percent of voters give the Republican Party a cool, negative rating. The presidential race and the congressional battles are interacting with each other to drive down their lead candidate, the party, and perceptions of the congressional Republicans.” …

Most interesting: Voters who gave Democrats their victories in 2006 and 2008 “have returned in a big way” led by “a resurgence and re-engagement of unmarried women.”

Democracy Corps is a non-profit founded by James Carville, so I’m sure they have a liberal agenda, but the poll seems to have been conducted professionally and scientifically; you can check out the questions and results here (PDF).
